Welcome to the DC West band page! My name is Mr. Garton and I have been teaching band at DC West since 2006. My wife Amy and I live in Elkhorn with our daughter Gracie. Amy and I are both big into music. You'll often see her playing along with the high school pep band or helping at concert time. In my free time I enjoy antiquing, playing piano, and collecting farm toys. I currently teach all of the bands in grades 6-12. The band program is growing and we have a great group of students involved! Please take time to check out our page to find out more about what's happening with the DC West bands. If at any point you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. And don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
